    Yes, QD is fine. You can also use the McKee's product mentioned above or Plexus afterwards.

    How are those headlight specific products any different than using a normal LSP on the headlights and then maintaining them with QD spray or the normal car shampoo used on the rest of the vehicle?

    Yes it is. It is also good for the IP plastic over the gauges. And radio displays.

    The outermost lense will be plastic. I think when auto makers quit using sealed-beam headlights in the 70's~80's, it was the end of glass external headlight lenses. Now the optics and lamp units whether halogen, HID, or LED, are all part of a single unit with an outer plastic shield protecting the optics inside.
